Senator Stanford, to-day, in address
ing the Senate upon his plan for
INDUSTRIAL CORPORATION,
said; 1.-The bill which 1 have introduced,
provides for the association and or
ganization of individuals with or with
out capital. 1t gives no exclusive priv.
leges, and is Intended only to aid the
natural right of association.
In a large sense. civilization itself
rests and advances on the great prin-
ciple of cooperation. The industries
and beneficial results find their full de-
velopment in association. Thus, dis
eoveries in art and in science ars dis
tributed or availed of and they inure to
the benefit of the whole community, !
often to the whole civilized |
world; so the organization of
individuals for common pur-
pose gives strength. The capacity |
of the ablest of all in the association,
the weakest and one of least capacity, !
is brought by advantages to level. |
The best result of this association is to
bring the individuals of the associa-
ton closer to the entire fruits of their |
united industries. With greater in
telligence and with a better under
standing of
THE PRINCIPLES OF COOPERATION
the adoption of them in practice will,
in time, imagine, cause most of the
industries of the country to be carried
on by these cooperative associations.

kindred pursuits would have the
effect of furnishing from their
variety of labor continuous en-
ployment. Thus combination
of men could even do farming, render
ing for hire their services to farmers,
and might find that continuity of labor
so important to the laborer and con-
ducive to the maximum power of pro-
duction of riches from constant en-
Ii is in the hope of strengthening and
developing the intelligence and pro
ductiYe power of the individual without
capital, or with but little, that l have
introduced this bill, believing it to be
one great step towards the highest
possibility of an abundance of the
necessaries and comforts of life for
every industry and provident ndiyidnal.
[ believ5 that cooperation will bring
put the highest capacities of those en-
gagged in it. 1t wilt impart to each in
the stimulus of knowing that
be or she may enjoy the full fruits OF his
or her skill and energy in this calling.
In the countries where there is the
greatest use made of the labor aiding
machinery, as In our own coun-
try, there the compensation Of
,he laborer is the largest. Even in
Europe. those countries that make the
most OF labor-aiding machinery, they {
